Real World Problems

The socio-environmental challenges the world faces are ‘swamps’: situations that are messy, complex, and uncertain. The aim of this paper is to help disciplinary scientists navigate these swamps. To achieve this, the paper evaluates an integrative framework designed for researching complex real-world problems, the Integration and Implementation Science (i2S) framework. As a pilot study, we examine seven inter and transdisciplinary agri-environmental case studies against the concepts presented in the i2S framework, and we hypothesise that considering concepts in the i2S framework during the planning and delivery of agri-environmental research will increase the usefulness of the research for next users. We found that for the types of complex, real-world research done in the case studies, increasing attention to the i2S dimensions correlated with increased usefulness for the end users. We conclude that using the i2S framework could provide handrails for researchers, to help them navigate the swamps when engaging with the complexity of socio-environmental problems.

Abstract Problem: Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) are the primary providers of direct care to persons residing in long term care facilities (LTCFs), many of whom have dementia. The need to deliver direct and intimate care increases CNAs’ exposure to verbal and physical workplace violence. Purpose: To describe CNAs’ experiences of physical and verbal workplace violence experienced during direct care activities in LTCFs. Design: Qualitative. Sample & Procedure: Ten African-American CNAs (9 female, 1 male) were recruited using snowball sampling from multiple LTCFs. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. NVivo12 software was used to manage the thematic analyses. Results: The identified themes were: 1) CNAs’ perception that verbal and physical abuse was “part of the job” and unavoidable; 2) CNAs’ feelings of minimization of the abuse by administration; and 3) inadequate CNA training to recognize and de-escalate triggers of verbal and physical violence, notably care-resistant behavior. Conclusion: The combination of institutional tolerance of workplace violence, coupled with CNAs’ insufficient training in de-escalating volatile interactions with cognitively-impaired residents, is creating an unfavorable, possibly dangerous, workplace environment for CNAs. Implications: As more states elevate assaults on healthcare workers to felony crimes, there is an emerging risk of criminalizing dementia-related behavior in an attempt to address workplace violence. Interventions focused on helping CNAs recognize and de-escalate care-resistant behavior are necessary for violence prevention programs in LTCFs. Limitations: CNAs may have self-censored and under-described the severity of their experiences during face-to-face interviews, even with confidentiality protocols and the practice of off-site interviews.
